  • the present invention provides a dye coating derived from natural material for dying cigarette wrapper paper, and mole particularly such a dye having cocoa powder as a dye pigment.
  • the dye of the present invention comprises a solvent system cocoa powder as a pigment, a dispersant to disperse the pigment, and a binder to bond the pigment to the paper when the coating is dry.
  • the ratio of components in the d is from about 32 to 86parts by weight of the solvent system, from about 4 to 8 parts by weight of the binder, from about 0 to 3 parts by weight of the dispersant, and from about 10 to 60 parts by weight of cocoa powder.
  • the ratio of components in the dye is from about 55 to 65 parts by weight of the solvent system, from about 4.5 to 6.5 parts by weight of the binder, from about 1 to 2 parts by weight of the dispersant, and from about 30 to 35 parts by weight of cocoa powder.
  • the dye coating has a solvent system comprising 48 weight percent alcohol and 12 weight percent isopropyl acetate, a binder comprising 5.5 weight percent ethyl cellulose, a dispersant comprising 1.5 weight percent lecithin, and 33 weight percent cocoa powder.
  • a preferred alcohol is isopropyl alcohol.
  • the coating dye has a solvent system including a solvent comprising 48 weight percent alcohol and 12 weight percent isopropyl acetate, a binder comprising 4.5 weight percent ethyl cellulose and 1 weight percent nitrocellulose, a dispersant comprising 1.5 weight percent lecithin and 33 weight percent cocoa powder.
  • Solvents which may be used in the solvent system of the present invention include isopropyl alcohol, and isopropyl acetate as well as, for example, ethyl alcohol, ethyl acetate, n-propyl acetate, butyl acetates, heptane, hexane, or mixtures thereof.
  • the ratio of alcohol to acetate is from about 0 to 20 parts by weight alcohol to from about 80 to 100 parts by weight acetate.
  • Binders which may be used in the present invention include, for example, ethyl cellulose, nitrocellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and other cellulose gums.
  • Dispersants which may be used in the present invention include lecithin and the like.
  • Cocoa powder is typically used as a food and is prepared by pulverizing the material remaining after part of the cocoa butter is removed from chocolate liquor.
